(c) growing a plant from the seed of step (b) to produce a plant derived from lettuce cultivar Buckskin;

(d) selfing the plant of step (c) or crossing it to a second lettuce plant to form additional lettuce seed derived from lettuce cultivar Buckskin; and

(e) optionally repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times to generate further derived lettuce seed from lettuce cultivar Buckskin, wherein in step (c) a plant is grown from the additional lettuce seed of step (d) in place of growing a plant from the seed of step (b).

16. A seed produced by the method of claim 15 , wherein the seed comprises at least 50% of the alleles of lettuce cultivar Buckskin and is within one breeding cross of lettuce cultivar Buckskin.

17. A plant, or part thereof, produced by growing the seed of claim 16 .

18. A method of vegetatively propagating the plant of claim 2 , the method comprising:

(a) collecting tissue capable of being propagated from a plant of lettuce cultivar Buckskin;

(b) cultivating the tissue to obtain proliferated shoots;

(c) rooting the proliferated shoots to obtain rooted plantlets; and

(d) optionally, growing plants from the rooted plantlets.

19. A lettuce plantlet or plant obtained by the method of claim 18 , wherein the lettuce plantlet or plant expresses all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar Buckskin.

20. A method of introducing a desired added trait into lettuce cultivar Buckskin, the method comprising:

(a) crossing the plant of claim 2 with a lettuce plant that comprises a desired added trait to produce F1 progeny;

(b) selecting an F1 progeny that comprises the desired added trait;

(c) crossing the selected F1 progeny with lettuce cultivar Buckskin to produce backcross progeny;

(d) selecting a backcross progeny comprising the desired added trait; and

(e) optionally repeating steps (c) and (d) one or more times to produce a further backcross progeny plant derived from lettuce cultivar Buckskin comprising a desired added trait and otherwise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar Buckskin, wherein in step (c) the selected backcross progeny produced in step (d) is used in place of the selected F1 progeny of step (b).

21. The method of claim 20 , wherein the desired added trait is male sterility, pest resistance, insect resistance, disease resistance, herbicide resistance, or any combination thereof.

22. A lettuce plant produced by the method of claim 20 or a selfed progeny thereof, wherein the lettuce plant is the backcross progeny of step (e) or a selfed progeny thereof and has the desired added trait and otherwise all of the physiological and morphological characteristics of lettuce cultivar Buckskin.

23. A seed that produces the plant of claim 22 .

24. A method of producing a plant of lettuce cultivar Buckskin comprising a desired added trait, the method comprising introducing a transgene conferring the desired trait into the plant of claim 2 .

25. A lettuce plant produced by the method of claim 24 or a selfed progeny thereof, wherein the lettuce plant is a transformed plant of lettuce cultivar Buckskin and has the desired added trait.

26. A seed of the plant of claim 25 , wherein the seed produces a transformed plant of lettuce cultivar Buckskin that comprises the transgene and has the desired added trait.

27. A method of determining a genotype of lettuce cultivar Buckskin, the method comprising:
